She claimed that inspectors found the “smoking gun†in Iran. I think I saw that “smoking gun†debunked somewhere. Maybe it was the NYT. I can’t stand the way these political operative types use every opportunity to use the proverbial dagger. They don’t care how many lives are at stake.<br /> Also in the Sunday NYT, Nagourney covers John McCain’s commencement speech at “Liberty University.†According the article, he also made some comment about the incivility of bloggers: “referring to his own brash political ways as a younger man, he said: “it’s a pity there wasn’t a blogosphere then, I would have felt much at home in the medium.†I gather he planned to give the same speech at the New School. What can the New School be possibly thinking?</p> What disturbed me most this morning, because I am incredibly worried about Iran: Andrea Mitchell-b**ch made a really disturbing comment on the NBC Tweety show.
